they should also get rid of fiddler's fling and yeah revolution kinda sucks but they should replace fid with a ferris wheel and probably for looks, take down that flinstones ferris wheel.
Hmmm, let's think here.....
First of all, revy stay. I can't think up how anybody would think it sucks. That's just my opinion, though. And also, I like Wolf, but I think another SMOOTHER stand-up in it's place would be nice. Take out Fling, put in ferris wheel, greatamerican I like that idea. Every park needs a ferris wheel, it's like a classic. Take Roaring Rapids or Yankee Clipper, put in floorless (alot of people have said this I know). I saw a topic not too long ago that Ragin' Cajun could be enclosed inside SSA. I think this is a great idea. Either extend that floorless or add another flat, like a less neck-hurting tilt-a-whirl. No offense to Fling. I also think GA could another kiddy flat. I saw the need for this when I went with Adrianna, the little girl we babysit. She's seven, and I'm sorry, a bit of a wimp, but anyway I noticed there wasn't that much for her to do.
Well now she's not that much of a scaredy-cat cause today I went to the Kane County fair and took her on this Trailblazer ride that was bigger and faster, and she loved it![/i]
I would take out Hometown Fun Machine and Whizzer. I would use the space of those two rides to build a newer family coaster that is bigger. It wuld still be a family coaster but a bigger and newer one.

Top 10 Rollercoasters: 1. El Toro 2. Kingda Ka 3. Superman: Ride of Steel 4. Millenium Force 5. Magnum XL: 200 6. Nitro 7. Raging Bull 8. Medusa 9. Gemini 10. B:TR
demon is a classic. i dont see them taking it anytime soon, since it fits so perfect in it's space.
i could see them take out the iron wolf and replace it with a new custom roller coaster.
There is always the age factor, rollercoasters don't live forever, they will start to act up and may stop working. It costs a lot more to upkeep an old ride, especially steel. Wooden coasters usually last longer.

If I were to choose a coaster though, I'm sorry to say Vu would be my choice. It just has so many breakdowns, and besides my sister Anna actually blacked out for a couple seconds on it......OK, I'm sorry, G-forces or not it just doesn't seem safe.
That's just my opinion, though. I've only been a coaster lover since March.... I'm not that, well, experienced.
Just because a ride "breaks down alot" doesnt mean that it isnt safe...
I don't see what you are worried about. You have a seatbelt on, plus a harness that locks, and a seatbelt holding the harness to it. Do you really know why the ride breaks down a lot??? It breaks down for three main reasons. There are others, but they are minor. One is the miscatching mostly on the first tower. The catchcar (The little purple thing that attaches the train) does catch it. Big deal. It will stop.And yet it's not safe??? This doesn't happen that often.
A lot has to do with the fact that weights to change over time, and gravity can play tricks. Is there a standard weight on this ride?? Also, during downpours of rain, the ride will go slower up the towers. I noticed this on V2. The wheels can't grip the track as they usually would.
The second one is the fact that it misparks. What pretell does this mean? This means that it catches the train, comes down to the station, and it then parks in the wrong place in the station. When the mechanics are there, this literally takes about 5 seconds. This is happening a lot this year, and the really main reason why it's down, and then it opens up again.
The third and final one of why it breaks down is the fact that on the second tower, the train goes up it, and catches it in the wrong place. So, why does it break down? Well, it doesn't catch it in the right place because it won't have enough speed to make it catch on the other side. It also has a possibility of getting stuck in the cobra roll. So, all it does is go back down, come back up, and drop you. This doesn't take that long.
So are you really safe?? YES!!

Nothing is out of the question, The Sky is the Limit!!! I think if SFMM goes under, most if not all of the rides will be relocated to other parks. I see their top 5 parks getting some good stuff like, X, scream, ect, ect. along with other smaller parks in the chain getting attention as well.
Take out either Hometown Fun Machine and replace it with a Tilt-A-Whirl, or River Rocker and replace it with another ride like Cajun Cliffhanger or Power Dive.
Yes, I do understand that there is almost no possiblilty that the second one would happen, but if it did, I'd love it.

well yea; the sky is the limit. but i was trying to think more of
our space, and where we could put X.

Parking Lot next to HH where they had the Tony Hawk Boom Boom Huck Jam they could put both Scream and X in there since nobody parks there anyways and they have enough extra paking for people to go to even if they put rides in that area.
Why should our park get two coasters, or even one of those coasters? Look at some of these other parks, and you shall see how many parks need them. Besides, Magic Mountain isn't officially closed yet, so please hold your horses.
